Balllin: Kyrie Irving with 39, 12 assists and 5 boards nullifying a really impressive game by Michael Carter-Williams. Check out the clutch three by the rook and Kyrie countering with a smooth left-handed lay-up for the win.
Also tonight, Jeff Green with the most difficult of game winners.
From the inbounder using up almost all of the 5 seconds to pass the ball, to the fadeaway-corner-horse-type shot, this was kind of unbelievable.
C'mon now: Jazz still winless, but tonights loss was in spectacular fashion. The Raptors led the whole way, were up 26 at the half and played so much of their bench that someone named Dwight Buycks got minutes.
Almost: Commentators said that Joe Johnson was 9 out of 10 in one possession 'tie or go-ahead' shots last year. Tonight he had a chance to tie the game at 94-91, but hit the back rim and the Pacers ended up winning by 5, 96-91.
Shut down: After putting up 137 at Staples Center on Monday, the Clippers whooped on the Rockets tonight in Houston 107-94. Lots could be said here about what the difference is, but the fact that James Harden is struggling against the defensive schemes by the Clipps or by the defensive tenaciousness of JJ Redick/Jared Dudley (probably not the latter) has got to be a big reason why the Rockets are struggling against that other team from LA. Against the clipps this year, Harden is 10-31 from the field and a ice cold 1-13 from three point land.

Other: Roy Hibbert taking a selfie on NBA TV...Kyle Korver is now tied for number 2 all time in consecutive games with a three pointer in the 2nd quarter of tonight's game against the Magic (he passed Dennis Scott and is now 10 games away from Dana Barros' record).
